New Zealand Post

New Zealand Post is New Zealand’s national postal and courier service with over 170 years of history. It began in the 1840s with the country’s first post office in the Bay of Islands and has evolved into a modern delivery network. Today NZ Post focuses on delivering parcels, packages and mail for both businesses and consumers, offering domestic and international shipping services. It provides a full range of postal solutions (letters, parcels, express courier, economy shipping, bulk mail) as well as related retail services (stamps, PO Boxes) and digital solutions (e.g. online shopping support, customs clearance). NZ Post is a state-owned enterprise and its group includes banking and other business services, reflecting its long-standing role in New Zealand communication and commerce.

How to Track NZ Post Packages

NZ Post offers several ways to track shipments:

  • Online on NZ Post’s website: Visit the NZ Post homepage and use the Track a parcel tool. Enter your NZ Post tracking number (the unique reference given by the sender) into the field and click “Track.” The system will display your parcel’s current status and delivery history. You can track multiple items at once by entering each tracking number separated by a comma.

  • Synctrack platform: Go to the Synctrack tracking page, select “New Zealand Post” if needed, and enter the same NZ Post tracking number. Click Track to see the parcel’s progress on Synctrack’s consolidated interface. This provides an alternative view of the tracking updates.

  • Mobile app and notifications: NZ Post’s mobile app (for iOS and Android) offers parcel tracking on the go. The app can send push notifications for status changes and lets you manage deliveries from your smartphone. Additionally, if the sender provided your email address to NZ Post, you may receive email updates on your parcel’s progress. NZ Post also offers parcel notification services (by email or SMS) to keep customers informed at key delivery stages.

FAQs About New Zealand Post Tracking

  • Where can I find my NZ Post tracking number? The tracking number is provided by the sender or shipping service. For parcels dropped at an NZ Post outlet, it appears on your postage receipt or the shipping label. For online orders or international shipments (e.g. YouShop orders), the sender usually emails you the tracking code with your order confirmation. If the sender has your email, NZ Post may also send the number and updates directly to you. If you lose it, ask the sender for the correct reference.

  • Why isn’t my tracking number working? Ensure you are entering the number exactly as given (no extra spaces or characters). It may take some time after posting before the tracking appears online. If the item was just dropped off or is in transit overseas, the system might not show scans yet. Also make sure the number is a valid NZ Post number (as opposed to a courier or foreign postal code). If you still get no result, double-check with the sender or try again later. NZ Post tracking requires the unique tracking number and does not work by name or address alone.

  • My tracking status says “Delivered” but I haven’t received the parcel. What should I do? First, check the delivery details carefully. The parcel may have been left in a safe place (e.g. porch or garage), with a neighbour, or at a nearby NZ Post depot. Check any delivery notification card or text from NZ Post for instructions. If you still can’t locate it, contact NZ Post customer support or submit a parcel enquiry. Provide your tracking number and delivery address; NZ Post can use proof-of-delivery records (like a photo or signature) to help resolve the issue.

  • Can I track multiple NZ Post parcels at once? Yes. The NZ Post online tracking tool allows you to enter multiple tracking numbers separated by commas into the tracking field. This will display the status of each parcel in one view. Each number must be valid and properly formatted.
